Freedom Boat Club continues its pattern of record growth in 2021, adding Safe Harbor Plymouth (Mass.) as its 300th location.
“Since Freedom joined the Brunswick family in 2019, we have invested in a foundation for growth,” Brunswick Corp. president of business acceleration Brenna Preisser said in a statement. “We continue to see significant potential to expand the Freedom platform and deliver exceptional boating experiences throughout the world.”
Since being acquired by Brunswick, Freedom Boat Club has grown from 170 to more than 300 locations in 33 states, Canada and Europe. With the acquisition of Spain’s Fanautic Boat Club this past summer, Freedom now has 324 clubs worldwide.
The Plymouth club is the 18th franchise in the Boston/Cape Cod marketplace, co-owned and operated by franchisees Matt Carrick and Matt O’Connor. It is slated to open for the 2022 season.
“Matt and Matt are not only one of our more tenured franchisees, but they also represent the strong partnership we experience with all of our franchisees as growth accelerators to the club,” said Freedom Boat Club president Cecil Cohn.
Added Carrick: “Through Freedom’s continued support and commitment, we have been able to build a scalable business and expand our presence across Massachusetts to serve some of the best communities in the world.”
